REAL PROGRESS IN LRELAND.
Dr. O'UeilIy Reports en- the Imprsvement
OF Technical Education.
DUBLIN, Oct, N.-More than one gratifying
evidence Of the awakened sympathy OF Eng
lishmen for long-sufrering ireland has lately
como to my knowledge. am much mistaken
II what have here to communicate does not
awaken lively interest among oil Americans.
The two great popular schools Of the Chris
tian Brothers In Cork and In Dublin. besides
maintaining their position at the head Of all
others In tho competitive examinations yearly
held by tho Board Of intermediate Education.
have become, in fact. schools oftechnology, for
their pupils arc eagerly sought for by the great
manufacturing and business houses OF the
three kinedoms. They are priced not only for
their bright intelligence and technical skill.
but, as a prominent business man said to me
tho other day, "for their strict integrity and
consoiontiousness."
Tho Rev. ]. D. Burke. the Superior OF the
distant day when tho triumph Of home rule
would entail the revival Of Irish industry and
manufactures, began years ago to collect ma
tsrials for great national institute OF tech
nology, great school in which the sons OF
Irishmen would be taught the principles and
processes OF every manufacture In existence.
Three or four years ago. while Lord Spencer
filed the offloe OF viceroy, this nobleman never
visited Cork without going to see the great
school at st. Marys Mount-that. BY the way.
In which Gerald Grim was teacher at tho
time Of his death. Lord Spencer never failed
to recommend to all his friends travelling in
the south Of ireland to see for themselves tho
wonders achieved by these Christian Brothers,
unsupported and unaided by Government
patronage or subsidy, and relying solely on
their own devotion to the people and the peo-
pies unfailing generosity to them.
But since Lord Spencers time and my own
last visit to the school nearly three years ago.
Brother Burke has succeeded not only in win
ming this year the foremost rank for his great
establishment in the intermediate examine
tons, but in accommodating q vast amount of
treasures for his archaeological museum.
These are mainly due to the enlightened and
open-handed generosity Of English manufac-
turers. And this Is how Mr.. Burke goes about
